AE Energy Conversion

1 EU = 2 AE

Right clicking with an AE2 Network Tool onto any part of your ME system gives a detailed overview about the components in your system and their energy drain. Clicking the top-left button will further convert the default AE units into EU for ease of reading (since this pack mainly deals with Gregtech EU). One thing to note is that GT:NH alters the energy drain reported by the AE network tool overview. Because of this, any component in the tool’s UI overview list actually has an EU drain multiplied by 10. The total drain listed at the bottom of the tool UI, however, is correct and does not need any extra multiplication.

The UI when right clicking with an AE2 network tool. The bottom correctly lists the total energy drain of your AE network. Notice the drain reported for the individual Controller. It is actually 30 EU/t, not 3 EU/t

The list below gives an approximate EU drain for each component in AE2.

Setting Up a Pattern

Encoded Patterns hold recipes inside them. Inserting this pattern into an ME Interface will allow one to autocraft that recipe from any terminal of the ME network. To create an Encoded Pattern, a blank pattern and a pattern terminal is needed. Inside the terminal, it will look like Figure 2:

Figure 2: A pattern terminal

It is possible to toggle between creating crafting or processing patterns by clicking on the top right button. The button looks like a crafting table for crafting patterns and a furnace for processing patterns. Blank patterns can be inserted into slot C shown on the diagram. Once a valid pattern is entered, press the button on slot D in the diagram to encode the pattern. Encoded patterns can be overwritten with new recipes (insert it into slot E shown on the diagram and re-encode).

Crafting patterns are for 3×3 shaped crafting recipes. If a valid 3×3 combination of items is set in slot A of the diagram, the corresponding item will automatically show up in the output slot B, which allows you to actually encode the pattern; an empty output is not a valid pattern and cannot be encoded yet. Crafting patterns should be inserted into ME Interfaces that are connected to a Molecular Assembler. Note that any tools used in a shaped crafting recipe will be inserted back into the ME network after the recipe is finished.

Processing patterns are for every other non-shaped crafting recipe, most notably for machines. The left 3×3 grid is set in slot A, which is user configurable and slot B outputs represent the output items for the recipe, which are also user configurable. Just like in crafting patterns, a recipe with an empty output is not a valid pattern. Remember that quantity of items matters here, unlike for a crafting pattern. Processing patterns should be inserted into ME Interfaces that are not connected to a Molecular Assembler.

Channels

Most, but not all, AE2 devices require a channel before it will turn on.

Mousing over a cable shows how many channels are in use

Exceeding the channel capacity of your network will result in the network being shut down until the excess channels are freed up. In general, most things that involve transporting items or permanently holding items (i.e. drives and storage buses) require a channel. Here is a short list of things that require a channel:

• ME Interface
• ME Drive
• ME Import/Export Bus
• ME Ore Dictionary Export Bus
• ME Storage Bus
• ME Chest
• Crafting Storage Multiblock

Here is a short list of things that don’t require a channel:

• Molecular Assembler
• Storage Cells (the things that go into an ME Drive)
• Energy Cell
• Cables

An ME Controller is a device that will provide 32 channels on each of its faces. Without an ME Controller, your ME network will only be able to support up to 8 channels, so it is highly recommended to have a Controller. If more faces/channels are needed, the controller can also be expanded as a multiblock following these rules:

1. All ME Controllers in a network must be touching
2. The maximum length of one axis of the multiblock is 7 blocks
3. An ME Controller can have 2 adjacent blocks in at most 1 axis

Rule #3 essentially means that, of the 3 axes (north/south, east/west, up/down), only one of those axes can have 2 controller blocks on both sides of any given controller and that the other axes may only have one controller after that. One of the implications of this is that you cannot form a «+» shape with your controllers, whereas a «T» shape is fine.

Materials you will need​

Like before, this mod is very iron hungry, redstone hungry, very gold and diamond hungry, and introduces Certus Quartz. You’re also going to need power to run your system on.

New in this edition, however, you’re going to need four different Press Plates. These are ONLY found in Sky Stone Chests which are only found in the middle of meteors. If you can’t find a meteor on the surface, you may need to dig around a bit to find one. There’s also a compass you can use to find them, however it means you have to remove every last piece of Skystone from a meteor, or the compass will just point back to it. Joy. And there’s four different plates, but only two of them are found per chest. And no guarantees the next chest has anything unique. Skystone currently has only one use: the ME Controller.

Now, if you are on a multiplayer server, once all four have been located, you can copy them easy enough. But if you are playing single player, finding them all can be a royal pain.

The Absolute Basics & Material Requirements[edit]

So, your chests have been overfilling, and you heard of this thing called a «ME System”, from the AE2 mod that might be able to help. What does that mean?

ME (pronounced Emm-Eee) Stands for Matter <=> Energy. It is a very useful advanced storage and automation mod that is very useful in handling your resources, and also helping you start basic to advanced automation.

First things first, that sounds cool! What do I need?

AE2 requires a lot of glass, sand, gold, iron, and nether quartz. It also adds Certus Quartz, a special quartz that you need for a lot of the technology. All you need to do now is go for a big mining trip and gather materials. Lots. For a basic ME System, you want at least a stack of iron, two stacks of redstone, two stacks of Certus Quartz, a stack of glass, half a stack of sand, a few diamonds, and 15 gold ingots, and a couple nether quartz.

In Conclusion​

It really is a different mod from the predecessor, isn’t it? Yes, there’s been some nerfs, but let’s be fair… they probably needed to happen. It requires a lot more thinking to set up a good ME Network, and some things you used to hook up to your main system because ‘why not’ you’ll find can often be put on their own separate channels. Once you get your head wrapped around the new system, I think you’ll agree that while it is a bit more challenging to play with, it’s also a lot more engaging and fun to play with as well. I really think a good balance has been struck here.

And if you are having trouble finding your press plates, and you just ‘happen’ to end up in creative mode and have them ‘mysteriously’ appear in your inventory… eh, who’s gonna know? Who knows, maybe someone with MineTweaker will create expensive but fair recipes for them in the mod pack you play on. Just sayin’… it’s an option.

Getting a charge out of quartz​

Before we can actually make anything in this mod, we’re going to need Fluix Crystal, which you might remember. However, the method you use to get it is very different. Now you need to make a little pool of water, then drop a Nether Quartz, a Charged Certus Quartz Crystal, and a Redstone into it.

Wait… a charged what now?

Yeah, the old Certus Quartz you used to know and love now comes in two varieties: normal and charged. The charged stuff is way rarer, and it is the only one you can use to make Fluix with. Which means you’re going to need to get lucky and find it.

Now, there is a way to charge certus quartz, you use the Charger. However, it requires two Fluix Crystals to make, so you’ll need to find at least a little bit of charged certus quartz as worldgen. Now, the Charger can accept power from your ME Network, from any power supply, or from a hand-crank if you are really desperate.

There’s also a way to extend your quartz: make it Pure. I’ll warn you right now, this is going to be a royal pain for you early-game, because it takes for-flipping-ever to do. Basically, you put a certus quartz dust combined with a sand to make a pair of certus quartz seeds. Then you put the seed in water and wait. And keep waiting. Then wait some more. Careful, don’t let it despawn! Then wait some more. For several hours. Now, there’s a way to speed things up a lot, called a Crystal growth Accelerator, however it’s expensive both in terms of material cost and most particularly in energy drain. You will want to be able to turn them off when not in use.

Upgrades​

In AE, you upgraded a basic bus to a fuzzy or precision bus when you wanted it to run stacks at a time. In AE2, however, this is handled differently.

There are various Upgrade Cards you can craft and slot into various components. For example, if we wanted to import five specific items, we’d want to put a Capacity Card upgrade into that import bus so it can handle more than one unique item. If we’re wanting to add the capability of using fuzzy logic, then you’d add in a Fuzzy Card. You can put an Acceleration Card into a bus to make it process more things at a time, or into a Molecular Assembler to make it craft faster.

Upgrade Cards aren’t cheap, but they can be used quite effectively.

Starting Out

AE2 isn’t the most expensive mod out there, but it definitely isn’t designed for the early game. Before you start to dive in you should make sure you have a decent amount of quartz, iron, redstone, glass, silicon, glowstone, diamonds, lapis, crystallized menril, and ender pearls. You will also need a few machines, including an enrichment chamber and some form of crusher, and the ability to cast liquids (Tinkers’ Construct seared brick smeltery or Tinkers’ Complement porcelain smeltery). You will also need a source of power.

The key to all of the AE2 machines are four crafting components that are made in the Inscriber. To make these components, you will need four corresponding presses: Inscriber Calculation Press, Inscriber Engineering Press, Inscriber Logic Press, Inscriber Silicon Press. All of these presses can be replicated in an Inscriber with the press as the top input, and an iron block as the middle input, but the first time you obtain them you will have to cast them in a casting table by pouring molten tough alloy, molten ferroboron, molten steel, and molten iron respectively over a cobblestone circuit mold. After you have your four presses, you are going to want to make yourself an Inscriber. You are now able to craft logic processors, logic circuits, and all sorts of lovely components you will need for AE2.

Notification*

It is important to realize that Applied Energistics 2 (AE2) is a very different mod in the universe of Sky Factory 4 than it is in an isolated modded environment. The main reason for this is because the mod pack has disabled channels and removed a block called the ME Controller as it would be essentially useless in the absence of channels. The pack has also removed a number of other key elements of the mod such as a resource called Certus Quartz and a block called sky stone. Sky Factory 4 has instead altered crafting recipes accordingly so that these resources are not needed to progress. As a result, many aspects of the mod have limited usefulness and many of the tutorials or documentation on AE2 that are not made specifically for Sky Factory 4 will not be as useful. This guide will focus on the elements of AE2 which maintain functionality in the universe of Sky Factory 4.

Setting Up Crafting Storage and Co-Processors

Crafting storage is required alongside patterns. Crafting storage blocks come in 1K, 4K, 16K, and 64K byte variants (similar to storage cells). Crafting storage is essentially a buffer where items are held until the recipe is finished. Because of this, the longer a recipe is (let’s say you have 5 or more «chained» recipes for a single recipe) the more storage you will need to start that job.

Crafting Storage can be expanded in a multiblock structure. The only rules are that it must be cuboid and it must have at least 1 crafting storage block. The entire multiblock will only use 1 channel.

Co-Processors allow for recipes to be executed simultaneously amongst many interfaces. For example, if you had 4 encoded patterns for a 1x tin cable and each of those were inserted into 4 separate interfaces, having 3 Co-Processors would allow your ME network to leverage all 4 interfaces as part of the crafting recipe (this means it could use 4 assemblers simultaneously). By default, 0 co-processors in a network means that it can only do 1 interface’s worth of that recipe at a time. Co-Processors can be part of the crafting storage multiblock.

ВЫРАЩИВАНИЕ КРИСТАЛЛА

Семя истинного кристалла Семя изменчивого кристалла Семя кристалла Нижнего мира

Для выращивания нам понадобятся семена, создание которых не составит большего труда. Итак, нам нужно скрафтить кварцевый дробитель (ID 184) и деревянную рукоятку. У дробителя несколько вариантов крафта, выбираем наиболее подходящий сами. Поиск крафта по ID (так будет проще и быстрее).
P.S. Так же в дробителе можно измельчить кость и получить аж 4 костной муки, вместо 3 если измельчить через инвентарь.

Создать семя можно в инвентаре: пыль + песок = 2 семени

Теперь, семя необходимо вырастить. Бросаем его в воду, расти оно будет около часа, прогресс роста всегда можно посмотреть подобрав его, после строчки “этот предмет не будет исчезать” можно узнать, на сколько % кристалл уже вырос.
